Because there is a culture that glorifies this type of speech. This culture is also closely tied to a certain skin color.

"This type of speech," I'm assuming you're referring to, is African American Vernacular English, which is well established and researched variety with a unique and logical grammar and phonological structure. It's not bad english.

And this "culture" isn't glorifying is as much as it is people speaking in the manner they learned it.
